"Cool," Mark replied, grin only widening as he quickly tapped on the buttons to take them back to the main screen— and if he lingered on the main menu for a couple of seconds longer than necessary, well, he was always rather fond of the HALO soundtrack. "I'll put us on campaign. We can switch to free-for-all if someone else stops by, obviously, but I've been a little nostalgic for this storyline, lame as it sounds.

His lips quirk. "You were there too, right?"
